Why it matters
Real text, not a picture
The Word file has your CV as text and tables you can edit, and the PDF keeps its text, so an applicant tracking system can read it.
One page, laid out for you
Sections flow down their columns. A long CV is set a little smaller to fit, and the page tells you when to trim.
Change the design any time
Your details stay when you switch designs, colours or fonts; the cover letter takes them too.

Questions
Why not edit in Google Docs from the start?
Laying out a two-column resume in Docs by hand is slow. Here the layout is done for you; Docs is then for small changes.
Is there a resume template in Google Docs itself?
Google Docs has a few in its template gallery. These give you more designs, then open in Docs as editable text, so you can keep using Docs to update them.
Does the design stay the same in Google Docs?
The text, the sidebar and the main column come across as a table; fonts are swapped for ones Docs has, so the look is close but not identical. For the exact design, send the PDF.
Can I share it from Google Docs?
Yes: File, Download, PDF to send it, or Share for a link.
